Egg Free

Tabouleh is such a nutritious versatile dish. It’s great as a side, a perfect addition to salad, and a super star on it’s own. Traditionally, tabouleh is made with cracked wheat. This version uses quinoa instead, making it gluten-free and high in protein.

Everyone knows that you need to have chocolate at Easter (if there were no Lindt bunnies, did Easter really happen?). Nevertheless, I think these gluten free carrot cake Easter eggs are a must as well! I mean, carrot cake just seems like such a natural choice in an Easter menu.

Fragrant fried garlic, soft juicy mushrooms, tender sautéed kale, and bright flavourful pesto make for a truly healthy dish that comes together in only 15 minutes. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. Feel free to add in extra protein to make this recipe even more nutritious.

Falafels and I haven’t always been friends. Even when I was a vegetarian, I couldn’t get into falafels. Every one I tried was often too dry or tasted like cardboard. Sadly, it was looking a lot like the falafel train was going to leave without me. I wanted to like falafels, I really did. They’re…

One of my best and long-time friends is Japanese. When we were little, we’d often share parts of our lunches (doesn’t every grade school kid?). Sometimes, her mom would pack her onigiri, which are seaweed-wrapped balls or triangles of white rice filled with meat or vegetables. I always got so excited when she offered me…

Being sick could not have come at a better time. I had been feeling under the weather all last week, but as soon as my school break started, my body gave up and decided not to work anymore. My voice is pretty much non-existant. Better now then when my courses were running, right?

I believe that a successful study session (or work session or any time of the day for that matter) always involves snacks. And the best snacks are the ones that are just as healthy as they are delicious! Cue this super simple garlic hummus.

It’s been two weeks since I’ve been back at school, and I’m starting to settle back into the routine of eat, sleep, read textbooks, repeat. Part of that routine though definitely includes enjoying a big jar of easy peasy chia pudding; sometimes in class, sometimes on the bus. I always get odd looks when I bring out the chia pudding jar, but hey — this girl knows the importance of a nutritious breakfast.

2017. Welcome! I absolutely love the beginning of the year. It’s always filled with such hopes and dreams and goals for the year ahead. Right now, anything and everything is possible. It’s time to turn over a new leaf and turn your dreams into goals and then into realities. The biggest resolution that always seems…

First off, I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. For my friends in Canada, I hope you’re enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend (or long weekend), along with the company of family and friends, and all the delicious food this holiday brings! While most of mine was spent studying, catching up, and getting ahead on readings,…

Sometimes, all a salad or a sandwich or a pile of sliced up raw veggies needs is a really good dressing to take it from ho-hum to absolutely marvellous. Lucky for your salads, sandwiches, and raw veggies, this avocado basil dressing is just the thing that’s needed to take them to that next flavour level….
